What are some good novels based on real people?

The novel "Young Emperor" by Ling Li is based on real characters. This is also one of my favorite novels so far. The prototype of the novel is centered around the historical Shunzhi and the people around him. Here we can see the contradictory and young and promising Emperor Shunzhi, Xiaozhuang who is dedicated to his son but always in conflict with him, the deposed Borjigit family who is a Horqin noble, and Kangxi's biological mother Tong Jia. The Wu Yunzhu that has haunted Shunzhi his whole life is the prototype of Concubine Dong E. This novel won the 3rd Contradictory Literature Award and was later adapted into a TV series, but today we will mainly talk about this novel.

The protagonist of this novel is Shunzhi, who ascended the throne at a young age and was the first emperor after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. When people mention Shunzhi, most people will think of him being troubled by love all his life. However, although this novel contains his love story with Concubine Dong E, this novel is more about his political ambitions and his single-minded desire. The ideal of the Manchu and Han family.

Shunzhi in the novel has a special contradiction. He loves Han culture wholeheartedly, but he cannot get support from the world. The ministers oppose him, his mother opposes him, and the concubines in the harem do not understand him. Only his sister-in-law, Boguoer's wife Wu Yunzhu, understands him. But the person who understood him best was already married to someone else, and this person was his most beloved brother Bogor, so Shunzhi was very conflicted in his heart. In the novel, Shunzhi's inner suffering, uneasiness and contradiction are vividly displayed.

The same Wu Yunzhu has always admired Shunzhi, but had no choice but to marry Boguoer. This relationship adds a lot of contradictions to the novel, making readers want to read more and more, and feel like they are actually there. In the same novel, the description of the abandoned queen is equally wonderful. She behaves perversely but is beautiful and generous, and she loves Shunzhi deeply. Her sentence: If there is a next life, she will definitely live as a woman like Concubine Dong E, which also makes readers feel distressed.
